Chapter Thirty-Eight: Conspiracy

When Qiao Lan's side was in full swing, the situation of the Chen family in Qingshan Village was frequent. In late August, the autumn harvest in Lishan County began, and the Chen family was already missing a hard-working coolie - Chen Yuehe, Chen Shenggui, who had only been married not long ago, went to the autumn harvest for his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, which undoubtedly made the Chen family's hardships worse.

The 15 acres of landlord Zhang's land leased by the Chen family is on the east bank, separated from the west bank by a remote river, and the Chen Wang, who also had to go down to the ground this year, is full of sour words about the two or three hundred laborers on the west bank, and I really wish they would come over and help their own harvest with one person and one sickle. When eating white-flour steamed buns and steamed buns on the west bank, the sound of swallowing saliva on the east bank came and went.

Yu Dana was on the west bank, thinking about how to send the steamed buns in his hand to Chen Yueya, when something happened there.

Overload of labor, the abdomen is still empty, Chen Liang's eyes are black for a while, Chen Yueya wants her to rest for a while, but she refuses to rest, or she doesn't dare to rest, Chen Wang's is looking at them with fierce eyes, but whenever their subordinates move slowly, she will scold, turning over and over those few words with sores on the top of the head and pus on the soles of the feet, rotten water, cheap to home and the like, but also scolded so much that you can't wait to find a crack to get into, and no one will be seen again.

Chen Yueya dropped the sickle in his hand and went to fetch water for the old lady to drink, but before she walked a few steps, she heard a pop behind her, and when she looked back, where was the figure of the old lady.

"Mother's !!"

"girl, pretend to be dizzy, there is no way to be lazy if you want to be lazy!!"

Chen Yueya's frightened voice and Chen Wang's shrill and mean voice resounded in the land on the west bank at the same time.

Chen Liang fainted, he couldn't wake up, Chen Wang scolded, and said vigorously that Chen Liang was pretending to be lazy, what Chen Liang was like, this is obvious to all, and everyone has two eyes, and they can see Chen Liang's miserable white face.

In the end, Chen Liang was still carried back to the Chen family, and Chen Wang took a step back, if she wanted to compromise again and give money to a doctor, it would be a fantasy. Chen Wang's family also wanted Chen Yueya to continue to work in the field, but Chen Yueya was unmoved, and let her abuse, just to guard Chen Liang's family, and tears fell down without money.

Chen Wang scolded and left, and asked Chen Shengli, who stayed at home to cook, to send all the lunch to the field, and she locked the kitchen behind her.

Chen Yueya was about to go to see if she could pull something to feed the old lady, when Xie Jinbao appeared at the back window and handed over a small burden.

"This is from your sister's side!"

Chen Yueya took it and opened it to see that in addition to the four white and chubby buns, there was also a small box.

"Your mother may be suffering from heat stroke, it is an ointment, you put it on her forehead and temples. Also, people will come in the past two days, and when the time comes, you can look at it, and if you can, you can cooperate, and if you can't, you can go farther...... Don't try to get hurt. "Xie Jinbao would be worried about Chen Yueya's reputation, and handed over something, and after explaining, he flashed.

Widow Zhao has no land and no land, relying on the silver left by her deceased husband to live, these days, the three aunts and six mothers-in-law are busy with the autumn harvest, no one gossip with her, she is idle and long-haired, and continues to pay attention to the situation of Yangjiazhuang for a few days, but the noble son nests in the Zhuangzi just can't come out, so she takes advantage of the excitement and returns.

In the afternoon of this day, Mrs. Li, a well-known matchmaker in Wuli Town, came to Qingshan Village, and she visited several families with daughters to be married. Widow Zhao was idle, so she invited Mrs. Li to her house, the two knew each other, Mrs. Li came with a purpose this time, and Widow Zhao also wanted to get closer, so this time the conversation was very speculative.

Chatting and chatting, Mrs. Li showed her sorrow in a timely manner, Widow Zhao was holding Mrs. Li, she must have asked a question, Mrs. Li did not twist, and slowly said the difficulties she encountered, "There is a big family in the county, not long ago, I was happy to have a daughter, but unfortunately I was born with dystocia, and I finally gave birth, and the weakness brought by the mother's womb is about to be unable to survive. Now I'm looking for a matchmaker everywhere to ask people eight characters, which also found me, but I don't know anything that was born in the year of Bingyin, Wuxu, so I just took this trip today, I want to ask the girls eight characters, to see if there is a suitable one, whether you are willing to go to other people's homes on an errand, hey, saving people's lives is better than creating a seven-level floating slaughter. ”

"Give me a lot of money on this errand. Widow Zhao inquired cautiously, it was such a coincidence, she happened to know a person who was born in the year of Bingyin, the hour of Wuxu.

Mrs. Li stretched out two fingers, "It's a tael of silver." ”

"So many !!" Widow Zhao exclaimed, and as soon as her mind turned, she had an idea. Widow Zhao wanted to take care of the matter, and Mrs. Li pushed the boat down the river and handed it over to her.

The reason why Mrs. Li found Widow Zhao was because she believed that Widow Zhao would have a way to find out the eight characters of the people in Qingshan Village, and she also had the ability to instigate the Chen family to sell Chen Liang's family, and she didn't know that Widow Zhao didn't need to inquire at all, and she had already locked the target.

It may be that the effect of the ointment is really good, in the evening, Chen Liang's woke up slowly, Chen Yueya wanted her to continue to lie down and pretend to sleep, so as not to be attacked, but that was not Chen Liang's style of life, she stood up and helped Chen Shengli make dinner, as soon as Chen Wang's came back, seeing that she was actually "good", she was suddenly angry, and said anything ugly, and she didn't give Chen Liang and Chen Yueya food after scolding.

Chen Yueya pulled Chen Liangshi back into the house, took out the bun left at noon, Chen Liangshi took it helplessly, and ate while crying, the food came into her mouth, the taste was the same as chewing wax, and she felt bitter.

After the evening, Widow Zhao came to visit the door, she and Chen Wang whispered behind closed doors for a while, and then called Chen Shenghua over, and a quarter of an hour later, Chen Wang sent Widow Zhao out of the door, with a look of surprise and joy on her face, as if someone had brought her her favorite silver.

All this was seen in Chen Yueya's eyes, she was cold in her heart, although she had been mentally prepared, but when she really saw those people who wanted to sell them, she felt so hateful, she was disobedient herself, just sell it, but what is wrong with her mother, looking at a radius of hundreds of miles, who has her mother is virtuous, but they are still disgusted to exchange them for silver.

The next day, the old and young of Qingshan Village, men and women are busy with the autumn harvest, Chen Wang's did not go out, she also kindly let Chen Liang's rest at home, so that Chen Liang's moved extraordinarily, staying in this home for more than ten years, every day there is endless work, this can not make Xianggong and mother-in-law satisfied, every day to beat and scold, and now finally see a glimmer of light, so that she has a feeling of keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon. Chen Liang is a hard-working person, although she was amnesty, she still had to go to the autumn harvest, and was yelled at by Chen Wang before she cowered back into the house.

Chen Yueya knew what her mother thought, but she didn't say anything, she just wanted to let her mother recognize the true face of this family, and let her go from disappointment to despair about this family, so that she could be cut in two from the root, so as not to coax her again with one or two good words from this group of wolf-hearted people in the future, and she was sold and helped count the silver.

Chen Wang's family was afraid that Chen Yueya would spoil her good deeds, and then drove her out in the name of the autumn harvest, Chen Yueya was very "obedient" to go to the field to cut rice, but on the way she quietly slipped away, returned to Chen's house and hid, she was not worried about letting her mother face the next tragedy alone.

The people in the village went to the fields to work, the village was quiet, Mrs. Li followed Widow Zhao to the Chen family, followed by two strong men, at this time the Chen family only had Chen Wang's family, Chen Liang's family, Chen Shengli and a few small ones, oh, and a hiding Chen Yueya. Widow Zhao led people to complete the task, she didn't go in, she always knew how to protect herself, and watching the fire from the other side was her favorite thing to do.

Chen Liang was still guilty, as if everyone in the world was grabbing the harvest, and she was lazy at home and not working, she was about to go to tell her mother-in-law that she was all right and could go to the ground, Chen Wang came in, holding a piece of paper with writing in his hand. Chen Wang put the paper in Chen Liang's hand, and before she could react, he picked up her finger and pressed it in the red clay, and then pressed a red handprint on the paper, and on that piece of paper, there was already a handprint, which Chen Shenghua drew last night.

"Mother...... Mother ......" Chen Liang's whole body trembled uncontrollably, and she couldn't even speak, no matter how dull she was, no matter how much she wanted to deceive herself, she understood that it was not good, it was over......

"Mother, what kind of mother, call the soul!" Chen Wang took out another piece of paper from his arms and threw it on Chen Liang's face, "The letter of resignation that Hua'er gave you, from now on, the Chen family is the Chen family, you are you, don't mess with relatives." Your mother's house is gone, we kindly found a place for you to go, you quickly pack up and go with someone. ”

After Chen Wang finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Chen Liang's who was paralyzed on the ground, oh, it was no longer Chen Liang's Liang Maohua, and he went out with the deed of sale with Chen Chenghua and Liang Maohua's handprints, and Mrs. Li was waiting outside. Liang Maohua didn't know where to get the courage, rushed out of the door, and knelt in front of Chen Wang's, "Mother, please, please, please...... Don't let Shenghua take a break from me, please, I won't faint anymore, I won't rest and be lazy, mother, please......"

Liang Maohua begged bitterly, kept kowtowing, but there was a loud bang, and her forehead was red and purple, and her skin was broken.

"Get out of here, don't dirty my yard. I don't have the blessing to be your mother anymore. Chen Wang's family was worried about taking the deed of sale in his hand to exchange for eight taels of silver, and he was even more impatient to deal with Liang Maohua, and he was about to kick her aside, Li Matchmaker appeared, coughed loudly, Chen Wang's family remembered that this person had been sold, not hers, and could no longer be beaten and scolded at will......

"Mrs. Li, you don't know, this Liang Maohua is a cheap bone, if you don't get beaten and scolded for a day, you will feel uncomfortable, you have to make it clear to the master, you can use her eight characters, you still have to beat when you should fight, she is just like this, otherwise she will be a quasi-backlash and provoke right and wrong......" To this day, Chen Wang is still sparing no effort to pour dirty water on Liang Maohua, for fear that she will gain face in front of her master and live a good life.
